Reseñas en medios

“Eric Lax [and Robert] Gale weigh up the risks and benefits of industrial, medical and natural radiation clearly, logically and with ample science. But it is Gale’s phenomenal frontline experience that gives this book edge.”
            —Nature

“[Lax and] Gale’s is an invaluable guide for negotiating an increasingly radioactive world—for scientists, patients of radiation-related medical procedures, and environmentalists alike.”
            -Publishers Weekly

“Gale and Lax objectively present the danger and value of radioactivity. In content and writing, Radiation absolutely glows.”
            -Booklist

“A well-written extension of the reach of reason in an area fraught with phobia and hysteria.”
            -Kirkus Reviews

“Gale and Lax aim to fill in the gaps in the public understanding of all things nuclear, and they are adept at doing so. Throughout the book they present a host of interesting facts and figures in humorous and accessible prose.”
            -New Scientist

“Everyone needs to read this book; it’s compact, easy to understand, rife with interesting revelations, and it cuts through a great deal of the noise surrounding the subject [of radiation].”
